Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Winter afternoons in North Gorley are short, with sunset at about 4:05pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Questions from North Gorley
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like North Gorley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can families and staff join in?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
